Father/Daughter Dance
Many brides find that choosing "just the right song" for the father and daughter song to be a daunting task. Ideally, the song selected for each dance reflects the essential character of the relationship between that parent and child. Some very sentimental songs may not be appropriate if the bride does not have a close relationship with her father. For brides who were raised by a stepfather and who will be dancing with him at this special moment, a very traditional father/daughter song might not feel right. On the other hand, an upbeat, fun song may seem inappropriate to a bride who has always been "Daddy’s little girl." If you are having some difficulty picking out a selection for the father and daughter dance, here are some popular songs to get you started. Whatever song you choose, be sure it reflects your relationship with your parent
If you are shy about dancing with dear old dad, maybe it would help to ask all the fathers and daughters out on the dance floor after a short time. It is tradition for the groom to cut in at the end of the song, at which time dad resumes dancing with his wife. If you are going to follow this tradition (most couples no longer do) then choose a song with more of a general love theme rather than one specifically about fathers and daughters.
Remember also that there is no set formal way of doing things at a wedding. It is just as acceptable to have a mother/son dance or other combinations of parents dances. The bride and groom and their family should do whatever they feel is most comfortable.
